IMPROVEMENT IN COCKING-STOVES.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 135,325, dated January 28, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known-that l, MICHEL G. FAGAN, of Troy, in the county of Rensselaer, and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking-Stoves; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved stove; Fig. 2 is an elevation of the rear end of the same; Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line :v :o of Fig. 2; Fig. et is a plan View of the upper side of the same with the top plate removed 5 and Fig. 5 is a vertical central section of said stove with the supplemental chamber formed entirely in rear of same.

Letters of like name and kind ref'er to like parts in each of the iigures.

My invention is an improvement upon a cookingstove for which Letters Patent N o. 94,193 were issued to me upon the 31st day of August, 1869 5 and it consists, principally, in a cookingstove provided at its rea-r end with a chamber or pit similar in general form to the fuel-chamber situated at the front of said stove, when said pit or chamber is situated wholly or in part beyond the rear end of said stove, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter specified. It consists, further, in combining with said rear chamber or pit awater-reservoir or boiler placed wholly or in part below the top plate of the stove, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter set forth. It consists, further, in the combination and relative arrangement of the top, rear, and exit flues, the rear chamber or pit and the damper, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter shown and described.

In the annexed drawing, A represents the bottom plate, B the side plates, C and D the front and rear plates, and E the top plate of a stove, containing a fuel-chamber, F, and oven G, all of usual construction. At a short distance forward of the line of the back ovenplate H the top ovenplate I curves downward and rearward, and is joined to said plate H, which latter is correspondingly shortened, as shown. The rear end plate D has, horizontally, a rearward curve from the bottom plate A chamber F situated at the front end of thek stove. The rear descending and ascending fines L and M, respectively, extend from the bottom oven-dues N upward to the bottom of the chamber K, at which point said ascending flue M is provided with a sliding damper, l?, that, when desired, can be caused to inclose its upper end and prevent communication between the top oven-flue Q and its interior. From a point immediately below the bottom of the chamber K the exit-due R extends rearward and then upward, the offset portion of the rear end plate being, preferably, used to form the upper and front sides of said ilue. Above the top plate the exit-flue is enlarged and offset rearward so as to bring its front side in rear of the line of the rear end plate, and ends in a pipe collar of usual form.

The jambs b of the supplemental or rear chamber K may either form a part of the side plates B or they may be formed singly and mounted in. The same is true of the bottom and rear side of said chamber and of the exitiiue.

reservoir, S, or, if desired, a tire-box, F, for

use in summer, or when it is not necessary that the oven should be heated. The water-reser- Voir may be entirely below the level of the top plate, or it may extend kpartially above the same, in which event the exposed portion of said reservoir may be covered or cased with any suitable material, for the purpose of ornament, or to prevent the escape of heat.

The advantages possessed by this construction consist in the largelydncreased capacity of the stove, the supplemental chamber or pit being accommodated without encroachment upon the oven or upon the griddle-space of the top plate.

Having thus fully set forth the nature and merits of my invention, what I elexn as new l. A cooking-stove provided at its rear end with e chamber or pit similar in general form to the fuel-chamber situated at its front, when said pit or chamber is situated wholly or in part beyond the rear end of sind stove, substentially as and for the purpose specified.

2. A cooking-stove provided at and Within its rear end and upper side with a second or supplemental fuel-chamber, when said ehember is situated wholly or in part beyond the rear end of said stove, substantially as and for the purpose shown.

3. In combina-tion, with the pit or ehmnber K, situated at the rear end and upper side of November, 1872.
